多模态话语分析是最近受学术界关注较多的新兴理论,该理论在社会符号学的理论基础上发展而来,能够帮助分析众多的多模态话语现象。张德禄教授是多模态话语分析研究领域的重要代表人物,其新作《多模态话语分析与外语教学》借助社会符号学作为主要学理基础主要回答了三大问题:多模态话语分析理论框架、研究方法和教学应用。本文将对该著作进行内容的引介和分析,希望起到抛砖引玉的作用,推动多模态话语分析的进一步发展。

The analysis of multimodal discourse is developed based on social semiotics as a heated domain in recent years to interpret the multimodality in reality. Professor Zhang Delu is one of the standard-bearers in the field and his new work, The Analysis of Multimodal Discourse and Foreign Language Teaching, takes social semiotics as its theoretical bases and primarily answers three questions, namely, the theoretical framework, research methodology and the pedagogical application. This paper is to introduce and review the major content in the book with the purpose to offer some reference to multimodal discourse analysis.
